National Transportation Safety Board (DOT), Washington, DC. – 1989
In 1977, a series of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) for school buses became effective, mandating different performance standards for school buses compared to other buses. Because data on the crash performance of school buses built to these standards were lacking, the National Transportation Safety Board conducted a series of…

National Transportation Safety Board (DOT), Washington, DC. Bureau of Surface Transportation Safety. – 1970
This study reviews some examples of injuries received in two school bus accidents; explains how the design of joints and fastenings in the buses was involved in the injuries and in the structural strength of schoolbuses; and compares schoolbus construction with construction of other types of buses that employ more efficient and complete…

National Academy of Sciences - National Research Council, Washington, DC. Transportation Research Board. – 1989
While school buses transport more passengers per trip, the rate of occupant fatalities per mile driven for school buses is one-quarter that for passenger cars. Nevertheless, the public expects school districts and other school bus operators to take all reasonable precautions to protect children as they travel to and from school. Although a variety…

Institute of Transportation Engineers, Lansing, MI. Michigan Section. – 1978
Control of traffic around school areas is one of the most important factors to be considered when selecting and designing a school site plan. To provide positive safeguards, it is necessary to establish and encourage school administrators to adopt a comprehensive set of guidelines. This booklet is directed to all personnel involved either in…
